Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Commercial sheep raised for mutton grow faster than traditional Chinese sheep breeds. Here, we aimed to evaluate genetic selection among three different types of sheep breed: two well-known commercial mutton breeds and one indigenous Chinese breed. RESULTS: We first combined locus-specific branch lengths and di statistical methods to detect candidate regions targeted by selection in the three...
